I am having problems using the Newton Backup Utility on my Power Macintosh computer using System 7.1.2.
DISCUSSION This is a known issue, but there are workarounds that can solve this problem. Symptoms ======== Extensions Off -------------- If you attempt to launch Newton Backup Utility on a Macintosh computer that uses System 7.1.2 (early Power Macintosh computers) with extensions off the application starts, then stops without any messages. Newton Backup Utility does not launch successfully. Extensions On ------------- If you have extensions on a dialog appears explaining it cannot find AppleScriptLib. If you install AppleScriptLib from the 7.1.2 CD, a new dialog appears explaining it cannot find DragLib. Workarounds =========== Install System 7.5 or later --------------------------- System 7.5 and later includes updated versions of the AppleScriptLib, ObjectSupportLib, and Macintosh Drag and Drop extensions. Install Updated Extensions -------------------------- Use the latest versions of these extensions: - AppleScriptLib (v1.1 or better) - ObjectSupportLib (v1.0.2 or better) - Macintosh Drag and Drop (v1.1 or better) The AppleScriptLib and ObjectSupportLib ships with System 7.5 CD and the Macintosh Drag and Drop extension can be downloaded from the Internet and online services. Install the 68K Version ----------------------- Use Custom install to install the 68K version of Newton Backup Utility on your Power Macintosh instead of the PowerPC native version. The downside of using the non-native software is that it runs a little slower. IMPORTANT: You must throw away any previous versions of Newton Backup Utility before installing the 68K version. If you do not remove previous versions, the Newton Backup Utility will still fail. |
